Item Description

A beautifull colored specimen blue colored Hemimorphite from the famous 79 Mine in Arizona. The aesthetics, arrangment and overall beauty make it a very worthwhile specimen from this well known locality. The color might look a bit more green in the photos, but it's a wonderful blue with a slight green overtone in person. There are a few spots that are actually more of a sky blue, while the majority of the piece is a softer subdued blue tone. Very attractive and hard to find these days on the market, especially with this color. Don't miss out. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#5876). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
